3.3.2 Technology neutrality

In a telecoms regulatory context, the concept of technology neutrality means that different technologies offering essentially similar services should be regulated in similar manners. However, technologies offering similar services do not necessarily have similar features in all aspects, and exactly identical regulations may, therefore, result in the advantage of one technology over another in the market. Technology neutral regulation can, consequently, include slightly differing regulations for different technology solutions in the same market segments.
